DISASTER RECOVERY AND EMERGENCY TRAIN To meet the needs for emergency preparedness and health provider training throughout Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education in partnership with Kiamichi Technology Center has created the Disaster Recovery and Emergency Training Simulator Unit. The unit will be operational by Jan. 1, 2012.

Funds from the Tobacco Cessation Grant at the Oklahoma State Department of Health and lottery proceeds for technology awarded to Kiamichi Technology Center through the ODCTE were used to develop a 40- by 8-foot trailer fitted with a mobile satellite, triage/classroom area and an ambulance simulator.

This unit is used for training emergency medical personnel and other healthcare providers as well as on-site triage during Oklahoma manmade and natural disasters. The unit also provides mobile satellite communications that allow simultaneous distance training at multiple sites/ campuses.

10

NING SIMULATOR UNIT TO ROLL ACROSS STATE “A shortage of healthcare workers is a major concern on state and national levels,” said Phil Berkenbile, state director of CareerTech. “Shrinking clinical training opportunities contribute to limited enrollment in education and training.

“This initiative addresses recommendations by the Governor’s Council on Workforce and Economic Development in its report on the healthcare industry workforce. The Council recommends increasing clinical experience and maximizing flexible educational methods such as simulated and virtual clinical learning labs,” said Berkenbile. “Advancing skills of healthcare workers also will assist in recruitment and retention.”

This custom trailer features six high-fidelity adult and pediatric human simulators and has the capacity for training 15 students at one time. Satellite communications equip the unit for distance education, and cameras are strategically placed for recording student performance for selfassessment, according to J. R. Polzien, program specialist, Health Careers Education.

“Clinical simulation validates both basic and complex skills through a variety of scenarios by replicating common and uncommon patient conditions. Students participate in zero-risk settings to practice critical thinking skills, build confidence and improve competence,” said Polzien.

The Disaster Recovery and Emergency Training Simulator Unit offers opportunities for training healthcare workers and can serve as a mobile triage unit during emergencies.

The unit features lifesaving equipment including a heart monitor, c-collars, backboards and live oxygen administration to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters. This mobile unit can also double as a triage unit.

“We can provide specialized continuing education and refresher programs for EMS and fire department personnel, especially rural volunteer departments and responders who will not have to leave their communities for training,” said Polzien.

Continuing education for all levels of healthcare and emergency care providers, including emergency medical services, paid and volunteer fire departments, hospitals and related industries, can be offered through this unit.

Polzien said the unit also will be able to assist communities, medical facilities and nursing homes in emergency evacuations.

SKILLS CENTERS Skills Centers Celebrate 40 Years of Restoring Lives, Families Oklahoma CareerTech’s Skills Centers School System offers specialized, occupational training to adult and juvenile offenders throughout the state. In February the Skills Centers celebrated 40 years of preparing incarcerated individuals and offenders for success in the workplace and their communities.

Former state Sen. Jim E. Hamilton was honored at the anniversary in a ceremony held in the Governor’s Blue Room at the State Capitol. The Oklahoma State Board of Career and Technology Education also honored Hamilton at its board meeting at the Jim E. Hamilton Correctional Center, Hodgen.

Hamilton authored legislation to establish training for inmates through CareerTech in cooperation with the State Department of Corrections. In 1971 the first inmates arrived at a facility in Hodgen, Okla., operated as a sub-unit of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary at McAlester. It was the first inmate training facility in the United States offering vocational-technical training by a state CareerTech system. In 1998 the Board of Corrections approved renaming the facility to the Jim E. Hamilton Correctional Center.

Skills Centers have evolved from a few occupational training programs to a system offering many programs and services to adult and juvenile offenders, according to Dom Garrison, associate state director.

“Offenders with technical and academic skills are less likely to return to crime,” said Garrison. “In fact, 75 percent of Skills Centers program completers have not been re-incarcerated after five years. Last year CareerTech Skills Centers enrolled more than 1,400 in programs at juvenile facilities, community correction centers and state correctional facilities.”

Oklahoma CareerTech Skills Centers Offenders with technical and academic skills are less likely to return to crime. Studies show that 75 percent of completers released have not been re-incarcerated five years later.

Staff members at the Skills Centers work closely with WorkForce Oklahoma, local agencies, and faith- and community-based organizations to secure employment for released graduates.

More than 2,000 Skills Centers students have earned the Career Readiness Certificate, a recognized credential for work readiness.

Offenders are trained in several industry clusters, including Manufacturing, Transportation, Distribution and Logistics, Construction and Business Management and Administration.

Skills Centers staff works closely with WorkForce Oklahoma, local agencies, and faith- and community-based organizations to secure employment for graduates upon their release.

Instructors are highly skilled professionals hired directly from industry who keep up to date on industry standards and practices. A vital component of the Skills Centers’ success is the relationship with industry representatives.

Industry partners not only hire Skills Centers graduates but also review and make recommendations for curriculum and specific training programs.

Since 2000 CareerTech Skills Centers have served 13,203 individuals. This includes DOC juvenile offenders and those in private correctional facilities. In cooperation with the Department of Commerce, offenders also have received credentials in work readiness by earning Career Readiness Certificates. As of June 30, 2,136 offenders have earned CRC credentials.

“Skills Centers focus on helping offenders transition back to their communities and into the workplace by teaching employability skills, such as resume creation, interviewing skills and job seeking skills,” said Garrison. “Life skills such as how to manage money, how to access community resources and how to obtain other support services also are taught in the Skills Centers.

“The Skills Centers philosophy is simple. Successful transition from school to the workplace can mean a life of success for the ex-offender. Life and employability skills are just as important as the career-specific training offenders receive,” Garrison said.

CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION HELPS ADULTS, SCHOOL DROPOUTS COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL During the 2010-2011 school year, CareerTech Skills Centers administered eight dropout recovery programs in Oklahoma. These programs served 480 females and 538 males for a total of 1,018 students. Of these students, 808 enrolled to pursue a high school diploma, and 30 enrolled to obtain a GED. The majority of these students also enrolled in an occupational training program.

Performance data indicated that, of the program completers, 373 earned a high school diploma, 16 earned a GED, 202 obtained employment, 29 entered the military, and 31 enrolled in postsecondary education. Prior to entering their junior year of high school, 503 of these students had dropped out of school.
